Hi all,
updating multiple subprojects in a CTest script and record the results to
show in CDash
is not supported, see: http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=8263
My current workaround is to dynamically set svn:externals before the call
to ctest_update()
which showed the following issues:
- CTest does not yet parse the output of svn update if svn:externals are
involved, see
http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=12630
- CTest will mark the working copy as modified, which of course is correct
because of the
modified svn:externals property, but annoying to look at in CDash.
- works only for svn
Because of that issues I'm looking for a cleaner solution.
The most promising approach I have found so far seems to do multiple calls
to ctest_update()
and manually merge the resulting Update.xml files as described here:
http://www.cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2010-March/036001.html
Is that the best way to go or does anyone has better suggestions?
In that mailing list thread CMake authors also noted that native support
in CTest
can't be expected any time soon because the CDash database doesn't support
recording updates
from different repositories. Is that still true?
Regards,
Stefan
